We were ready to discuss the legacy of your business, specifically bringing your kids onboard to someday run the company. Our original guest had to cancel at the last minute so we called out to the #Regulators and they showed up in a big way. We are so grateful for all of the offers to help and through that, we were able to find several people to join us. They made lemonade out of lemons! We will have a discussion with Lauren Fraley and Erik Mickelson to get all sorts of perspectives on this meaningful topic.

Please find some links and notes from the 2 Regular Guys Podcast. This week we welcome in Erik Mickelson of Northwest Custom Apparel to talk about the changes he has been through while taking more of the reigns of his family business. Started in 1977 by his Father, Jim Mickelson, the company has been part of Erik’s life since he was a kid and has grown to 20 full-time employees to make this thriving embroidery business tick. Erik is now implementing procedures and policies to take the company from managing by “Jim and his Gang” to running a business correctly with procedures and policies. We talk about the trial, tribulations and all the fun stories along the way.
